What is a bone marrow drive?
A bone marrow drive is an organized effort to inform, educate, and recruit potential marrow donors for the Be The Match Registry. Drives can be set for as short as 2 hours or as long as 6 hours. Once a donor is recruited, he/she is entered into the national database and remains on the registry until his/her 61st birthday and may be asked to donate marrow/blood cells to someone he/she does not know.
